1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeTo develop histology-informed simulations of diffusion tensor cardiovascular magnetic resonance (DT-CMR) for typical in-vivo pulse sequences and determine their sensitivity to changes in extra-cellular space (ECS) and other microstructural parameters.

methodsWe synthesised the DT-CMR signal from Monte Carlo random walk simulations. The virtual tissue was based on porcine histology. The cells were thickened and then shrunk to modify ECS. We also created idealised geometries using cuboids in regular arrangement, matching the extra-cellular volume fraction (ECV) of 16-40%. The simulated voxel size was 2.8 × 2.8 × 8.0 mm

resultsThe primary diffusion tensor eigenvalue increases linearly with ECV at a similar rate for all simulated geometries. Mean diffusivity (MD) varies linearly, too, but is higher for the substrates with more uniformly distributed ECS. Fractional anisotropy (FA) for the histology-based geometry is higher than the idealised geometry with low sensitivity to ECV, except for the long mixing time of the STEAM sequence. Varying the intra-cellular diffusivity (D

conclusionsWe found that the distribution of ECS has a measurable impact on DT-CMR parameters. The observed sensitivity of MD and FA to ECV and D
